📰 Fragility is the new normal: This is why Enabel and GIZ have joint forces to advance #TeamEurope’s engagement on the issue 🤝 📢 Today, Jean Van Wetter, Managing Director of Enabel, and Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel, chair of the management board of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, convened a high-level roundtable at the GIZ Representation Brussels titled ‘Staying engaged as Team Europe in fragile contexts - Challenges, Opportunities, and Way Forward’. 🎯 #Fragility makes life even harder for millions and the #SDGs seem unachievable! Currently, 25% of the world’s population lives in fragile contexts. By 2030, the OECD - OCDE estimates that nearly 86% of the world’s extreme poor will live in fragile settings. How can #InternationalCooperation agencies and #TeamEurope stay engaged in an increasing complex and fragile world? 💡 Policy must be accompanied by adequate funding for action in fragile contexts. Hadja Lahbib is set to work on a Commission-wide integrated approach to fragility. European development agencies are strong partners in these complex contexts. With their expertise in working on the ground, they address drivers of fragility, ranging from crisis prevention to promoting social and economic justice and supporting resilience in the face of environmental crises. 🗨️ The high-level roundtable brought together fellow senior stakeholders from the European Commission, the European Parliament, Member States, multilateral organisations, NGOs, think tanks, and civil society. It concluded that: 👉 We must continuously engage in fragile context through long-term, integrated solutions. We need local, national and regional responses as fragility does not stop at borders. 👉 There is a need to differentiate between fragile and conflict-affected states to effectively align the EU’s goals and implementation instruments. 👉 We need to better use collective intelligence and strong partnerships to deliver needs-based solutions. 👉 The EU must communicate its interest in fragile contexts to secure mutually beneficial partnerships. 👉 Team Europe actors need to integrate their positive lessons learned and be more open about past mistakes to effectively address fragility. The exchanges were organised in collaboration with European Think Tanks Group ETTG & the Practitioners' Network for European Development Cooperation’. Iliana Olivié moderated the discussions during which draft conclusions of the Policy Paper on fragility were presented. #TripleNexus #HumaniarianDevelopmentPeace Goethe-Institut Brussels UNDP Africa-Europe Foundation Expertise France International IDEA Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV) SNV European Peacebuilding Liaison Office (EPLO) Secretariat of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) CONCORD The World Bank OECD - OCDE Sophie Desmidt ECDPM 🌍 German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) Dr. Julian Bergmann 📸 by Elio Germani

On September 20, 2024, the kick-off event for the Joint Action #Skills4Recovery took place, marking a significant step towards Ukraine’s recovery! The EU, Poland, and Estonia have officially joined forces with Germany to boost vocational education and training in Ukraine. As the country faces critical shortages of skilled workers due to war and migration, this programme aims to: 💼 Train over 4,700 workers in key sectors like construction, IT, and agriculture. 🏫 Support 50 VET providers across Ukraine. 📈 Double contributions from €10 million to €25.5 million. Ukraine’s economy is projected to need up to 8.6 million additional workers by the 2030s, and this initiative is here to help! Together, we're building a resilient future, ensuring Ukraine has the workforce it needs to rebuild and thrive on its EU membership path. “We are excited to launch Skills4Recovery and join efforts as Team Europe. Together, we support Ukraine in its EU accession process and post-war recovery,” said Henrik Huitfeldt, Head of Section Public Finance, EU Delegation to Ukraine. The Joint Action #Skills4Recovery is financed by the European Union, Germany, Poland, and Estonia - Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV). It is implemented by GIZ Ukraine and the Solidarity Fund PL - Fundacja Solidarności Międzynarodowej. Skills4Recovery was initiated by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in 2023. #GIZ
